Elevator Pitch: A humanoid entity whose body is always adapting to make it immune to any risk of death. It is tall and thin, has claws and a curved posture. Its skin on the head is scaly and white, whereas on the rest of the body it's thin, moist and soft to the touch, and black in color, like a salamander. It has black hair just above the head, which looks and smells like it has been burnt several times. It has no mouth or nose because it does not need oxygen, so it can't speak. Although, it still has damaged lungs and vocal cords; making it possible to hear its groans of pain through the ears. It is feeling hungry and fatigued, but the body will not let it die.

Central Narrative: It was encountered in a forest fire by a group of farmers, which aroused the Foundation's attention after reporting its appearance. Investigations led to more people who had come across the entity, and forest fires in that region continued. It was then that the Foundation's agents found the entity cutting down trees with its claws in an attempt to create a large fire to set itself on.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: The entity's scales are starting to fall, and the skin underneath is being replaced by an unknown metal that is depriving it from reacting to touch, which makes it even more disturbed. Tests and observations conclude that the entity will most probably shrink into a metal block while its consciousness somehow remains inside. They are yet to discover that the entity knows the fate of all people and things through few attempts from the entity to communicate,

Additional Notes: In my time producing concepts, I've discovered that I still have some issues when it comes to the central narrative, and I'd really critiques and tips focused on it. I fear that the idea is similar to another already written…even though everything I've put here came out of my head and inspirations from outside universes.
